Before Walmart Schubert had roles in financial planning and analysis, corporate treasury and investor relations for chicken processing company Tyson.

“As Gary and I have worked together in several capacities over the last decade, we have repeatedly focused on providing organizations with strategic structure and strong execution,” Bennett adds. “I’m thrilled to welcome Gary to IVFH as we pursue the incredible opportunities that lie ahead of the Company.”
